We've finished reading that book.

It took us longer than planned, but we finished reading that eagerly anticipated book, the seventh novel of a U.K. author, the magical fantasy filled with references to the classics, where a teenager with powers many readers would love to have confronts his destiny. Hopefully, this line won't be a spoiler for those of you who haven't read it already:

"If you even think about asking Harry Potter for an autograph, your day ends right now."
We really enjoy the series, and can't wait for the next book.

In the short term, new William Gibson comes out in less than a week! What a great summer.

p.s. (WARNING: Possible Harry Potter spoiler below; definite spoilers if you follow the link.)

Before Deathly Hallows came out, I joked with some colleagues that the Ewoks would defeat Voldemort, and Harry would see the glowing spirits of his parents and Dumbledore. We haven't read HP7, and don't plan to anytime soon, but it looks like our prediction was partly correct.

A few items from BoingBoing

These books would make the perfect addition to any library's YA collection. How could teens resist?

These "books" would make a cool addition to a Halloween display. If you're not in a library where no-fun fundies break your balls over having a Halloween display, that is.

Archie comic book shills for the RIAA. Just for that, we're gonna go snag a download of "Sugar, Sugar".
